More than a decade removed from his release from prison, former Bad Boy artist Shyne is continuing to shape politics in his native Belize.
The “Bad Boys” rapper, who serves as the country’s Ambassador of Music, is currently running for Belize’s House Of Representatives and got a ringing endorsement from none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“BELIZE I’m so proud of my brother @shyne_bz and the journey he is on,” Diddy wrote on Instagram. “He is running for the House of Representatives and needs your support. #BadBoy4Life”
Shyne, the son of Belize Prime Minister Dean Barrow, was nominated by the United Democratic Party to stand as a candidate for the Belize House of Representatives for the electors of Mesopotamia in Belize City. Dean Barrow became the first Black prime minister of Belize in 2008.
Shyne’s uncle, Honorable Michael Finnegan previously announced that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election back in 2017 and expressed that he wanted the “Bonnie & Shyne” rapper to be his replacement.
Shyne Hints At New Album & Reflects On Bad Boy Days In Rare Interview
Diddy’s endorsement of Shyne comes after the two feuded for years after Shyne was released from prison. The young rapper was partying with Diddy and Diddy’s then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez before he fired a gun inside Club New York on December 27, 1999. While Diddy was acquitted of charges related to the incident, Shyne was found guilty and served 10 years in prison. He converted to Judaism while behind bars and even released a sophomore album, Godfather Buried Alive in 2004.
After he was released from prison in 2009, Shyne was deported to his native Belize where he assumed the role of Ambassador of Music for the country.
“I’m just trying to develop and discover the next generations of musicians in Belize,” Shyne said in a 2018 interview.
Thank God, cuz he sucked as rapper after prison lol. Least he’s got a good future ahead of him.
Biggie copycat left jail, got deported and became a politician in one of the most corrupt places on the planet. The people of Belize couldn’t hope for a better person….
It’s funny because Shyne converted to j.udaism, but real (ethnic) joos would never consider him jooish. He could never migrate to I.srael for example, because his mother is not jooish. The joos in i.srael actually sterilized black people (ethiopians) back in the day..
Scientific evidence shows most converted to joo day ism
True, most modern joos are not the people from the bible times. They are descendants of k.hazars who did indeed convert to joodaism around 8th century. The k.hazarian empire was not in the middle east at all, thats why its outrageous those people have so called ‘right of return’ meaning they can migrate to their stolen piece of land from places like brooklyn lol. They have no blood ties to that land whatsoever
Shyne’s that…fine cat…nines clap…spines crack…
sounds like its all in the family politically in Belize….either way good for him…beats runnin around shooting up clubs with puff
Congrats to Shyne. Onwards and upwards for him. With all the the history between him and Diddy, it is great that they still be cordial with each other.
He was the best bitch I could ever ask for.
Diddy probably knows nothing about belize, the politics there or the qualification of his “friend” but still uses his position to influence their elections. What could go wrong
I swear the nigga Puff in some satanic shit, just look what happened to his proteges: Shyne converts to j-udaism, Loon became a mus-lim, Mase a pastor or some shit. They all needed god after their record deals with Puff.
El Santo
Craig Mack too
Also Mark Curry
Special Delivery Rapper killed somebody years ago and confessed after Having a “Hit” Record to me that says it all!
Trash
Really, Puff? Are you kidding? The same Shyne you did dirty with different lawyers. Dude had to fight the charges for having your back all by his lonesome, ended up doing time for you and got deported, while you kept dancing in your shinning suit. Now, Duke’s picked himself up and here you are looking to gate-crash his moment in the sun – snake.
Puff dam when are they going to deal with this murderer criminal it’s crazy they let him get away with murder dam shame fuck puff if i was ever to see him and I’m right wit it
My mother once told me never trust a man that gives out dildos as a parting gift. Puff Daddy has been know to have a a few high priced Macedonian granite dildos at his California house.
Two ways of looking at it. You aint got what is needed in your pants to satisfy a woman that you need a synthetic penal cord? Or is this how you get yourself “right” when any stress arises? Jamming yourself causing rectal tears, really?
Hmm… it seems Puff re-signed this guy to be the head of the Belize division at Revolt. Don’t dare criticize unless you want to be labeled a racist though .
You should endorse him Diddy, that’s the least you can do since he took that charge for you……smh
And your so correct everybody knew it was Diddy who did it and Jlo knows too that’s why she left him alone after that
to what dude said below about puff on some satanic shit….LOX was lucky they fought n got out before it was too late…besides what happened to loon mase n shyne…see what happened to the rest: Big is dead, G Dep confessed, black rob was in n out of trouble, 112 n total been MIA, junior mafia broke up, even Faith beat up her husband…smh
